I may be wrong, but I thought you could not cancel your pre-order. I'm sure you could go through your credit card company and dispute the charges, but I thought that once you bought and registered your key you could not cancel it.

edit: sorry, I just read the title again. "Pre-Orders" I was thinking pre-purchase. Never mind my statement! :)

You can't cancel the pre-purchase. So those that said they played the beta than cancelled are... Well, I think we all know...

Originally posted by sonoggiwell i dont know what everyone else is smoking, but GW2 is a complete redesign of most MMO elements to me. everything in the game is done differently. ffs, its DE's are better than Skyrim's PVE. it will be the first true pvp MMO.

Sorry but there's no way in hell GW2 is more of a PvP mmo than EVE :p.

The game seems fun - I like that the DE content scales depending on how many people are present.

What I would like to know about the combat in GW2 is - Can I be equally effective never using the tab key, ever?

I'm sorry, but I played Eve. Two accounts. Nearly a year. Eve's PvP is a joke. It was fun. Don't get me wrong. But as a 'skill' it was a joke. Warp in. Lock. F1, F2, F3... It's all about toon skills and load-outs. The amout of 'skill' is laughable.

And, honestly, it was dull after a while. I found playing the market more enjoyable.

As for GW2's PvP... Much better. Still need to get the hang of it. But it's not F1, F2, F3...

My room mate prepurchased. I tried it and didn't like it at all(I hadn't read up much on it, but because of the hype I really expected to love it). The low fps gave me such a bad migrane but aside from that, I hated the limited skills to weapons, I hated the "dynamic" events( I got to level 6 with 4 different characters and found myself aimlessly walking around looking for stuff that would level me as I had done all the heart things for my level, the only ones I could do were higher ones where the mobs would face roll me. So all I could do was grind to level..........), I hated the fact that you could teleport around, I hated the fact that there was a loading screen between zone and the big city and ; finaly, I hated the fact that you don't really progress, as it's not loot based and it's barely level based, you only complete content for the sake of it, meaning that there isn't much longevity to the game for me. Still, it's not bad considering there is no monthly fee.

I loved the character creation though, the map was pretty cool too.

The hype was so huge I was expecting the same feeling vanilla WoW gave me; I was hugely dissapointed.

I haven't played a MMO in almost 2 years now, I thought this would be the one that would rake me back in, sadly not .

In other words, the game sucks because you failed ... Congrats. I played all three days, there was a TON to do and it didn't much in the way of paying attention to find everything out. I mean, they even TOLD you how to find more adventures. Right after the intro-tutorial. Which you played FOUR TIMES.

Honestly, I'm glad you hate it. Because that means I'm not going to have you clogging up chat asking stupid questions because you're too good to pay attention to what they taught you in the tutorial/introduction and now don't have a clue...

Originally posted by JohnShieldsI'll pre-order when Im not paying console prices for the game. Otherwise I'll get it later in a bargain bin.

not being a fanboy here, just thinking realistically. GW2 wont be in a bargain bin for at least a couple of years, or until the next expansion. it's gonna sell insane amounts, and im telling you right now, it will eventually hit WoW numbers. it will sell without any price reductions, so retailers would be insane to lower the price. you can keep dreaming though.

Them be some lofty predictions.

GW1 sold 6.5 million copies and made it to the #2 MMO in the West. This one is better out the gate. So, while he's making lofty predictions... This game has potential to be a very big deal.

Looking at the poll in the OP, it's pretty clear that almost no one cancelled their preorders, if any. As with all the GW2 hate threads, this has devolved into flame war. Really quite pointless.

We get it, you don't like the game for whatever reason, and you can't understand why other people do. Well, whinning about it is rather childish, don't you think? It's not like we are inventing reasons to like the game. We've tried it, we like what we see, that's all there is to it. Move on. It's 2012, there's pleanty of games for you to hate on.

Because this site caters to WOW clone themeparks, they probably dont care about the endless trolling TOR players do over here. Which is probably why WARNING this forum is under " Increased Moderation" is only under all the WOW style Themeparks on this site. So no trolling on WOW clones but everyone else is fair game.

It will be funny over here watching the culture shock over here if GW2 gets really popular after release.

Really? goto these games area on this site and you'll see real trolling

I'm with ya on the 1st two. I might play a bit of Tera though prob till D3 comes out, as i'm subbbed till the end of the month...TSW on the other hand, is way up on my high hopes meter....def hangin for it

As for GW2, thats the no brainer of the year....prob in the top 3 MMOs of all time i thoroughly enjoy, and at this point its free!

Good luck with that. Funcom has such a great reputation for successful launches!

It's EA/Funcom. I went from 'must try' to 'ha ha ha ha..... no.' But I'll be open minded. They may pull it off. But I'm going to wait after the debacle of SWTOR.

Originally posted by MonorojoWell using this poll as a indicator...Already 11% of the potential fanbase will be passing on GW2 and we have only experienced the first beta weekend. You can expect the retention rate to continue to dip the closer and closer we get to release, then take a huge nose dive a month or two after release.

This isn't SWTOR. This isn't AoC. It'll probably be like GW1. Released in 2005, peaked at #2 Western MMO in 2007 for active accounts and sold 6.5 million copies and is still holding on with its fingernails to being a Top-10 Western MMO with an active player base about one-third the size of SWTOR's continously declining player base.
